A comprehensive ADHD assessment reviews your history of symptoms, developmental history, rules out possible disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and provides education on how to manage symptoms. This assessment requires 60 minutes. Your psychiatric and medical history are an important part of getting a correct diagnosis and treatment.
Medication
Stimulant medication is considered to be first line treatment of ADHD. Medication like Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse, Concerta have been shown to be the most effective treatment for symptoms of executive dysfunction. Some individuals are not able to take stimulants due to having other psychiatric conditions. Strattera, Wellbutrin and Clonidine are alternative options.
Monthly appointments are scheduled in the beginning to fine-tune your medication. Once you do not need medication changes, then your appointments are every 3 months. Monthly refills can be requested if you do not require medication changes. We do ask that you answer a few questions about your health status prior to getting a refill on controlled substances.

There are many ADHD treatment providers engaged in telemedicine. Many have been deemed unsafe and are regarded as pill mills. Some of these providers have lost their priviledges and pharmacies are not accepting their prescriptions. Services like Cerebral and Circle Medical use inexperienced providers who are not psychiatric specialists or ADHD specialists. Many offer short 25 minute appointments which are deemed unsafe and are not considered to be the standard of psychiatric care according to APA (American Psychiatric Association). These providers have very little if no psychiatric training. Many telemedicine services have high turn-over. Please use extreme caution when entrusting your mental health care to non-psychiatric providers.

What medication can you prescribe?
We use all FDA-approved treatments for psychiatric conditions. For example, the first treatment choice for ADHD is a stimulant medicine like Adderall or Ritalin. If you are unable to take this type of medication we can try Strattera or Wellbutrin.
Depression is treated mostly with SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) like Prozac, Zoloft, Lexapro and SNRIs (serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) Effexor, Cymbalta. There are also older medications known as tricyclics and antipsychotics that are used in moderate to severe depression.
Anxiety is primarily treated with SSRIs, but some individuals require benzodiazepines, such as Xanax, Ativan or Klonopin. These medicines are first line treatment for panic attacks and should be used sparingly.
